10 years UPDATE!!

10 years later and still running without a hitch. And never, ever has any user "missed their mark." As a matter of fact, as a preventive measure, I put a section of cardboard...

6 years UPDATE!!

6 years later and still running without a hitch. And never, ever has any user "missed their mark."

This urinal works flawlessly and is a practical additional and a unique...

My bad MARK / massplumber2008!

I didn't forget you and truly appreciate your input back then. Terrible oversight on my part. And knew before I posted above that I needed to mention you but...

Well, it's now 2 years later and if anyone is wondering, the urinal has and still is running perfectly and has been a true asset and a hit by all standards.

Just dropped in to say there is no pee...

And just like all of your other assumptions, you're quite sure that I didn't? You know what they say about those that "assume." In this case, it's just you.





An indication of the respect...

If you had been following along with the original thread, which obviously you were not, this is not going to be inspected or to code -- it's intended to NOT be a permanent fixture.

Economy and...

I posted these follow-up pics at the end of my original thread but it didn't "bump."

So, it's done and it works great!

Thanks to all for your help and encouragement -- I couldn't have done it...

Thanks MARK!

I don't need to cut any pipe because I listened to you guys and didn't do the final PVC glue-ing in key spots, so I can still take it apart -- so, I'll go for the tape and dope...

HELP!

I have a bit of an emergency -- I have a small leak in between the (adpated) cleanout plug and the threaded cast iron opening of the stack line. I used teflon tape on it, maybe I didn't use...

Heh! Yeah, it would be cool to have a giant, chromed-out flush handle.

Then again, there's also something very mancave-ish about a rustic/improvised ball-valve setup too -- as long as my...

Thanks guys for the input.

If the consensus is that the vacuum breaker is a "must have," then I ought to go for it.

I may be killing two birds with one stone as I have to find a way to connect...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your advice despite the fact that this is somewhat of a "jury rigged" install -- it makes your help all-the-more valued.

Tom> I'm under the impression that...

Roger that on the plug, it was me that ate it up while trying to take it off -- already dremeled the old one out and purchased a new one.

Below are pictures the parts I purchased -- I'm pretty...

For the supply line, I had a few of these standard-type copper adapters laying around but I'm not sure if the threads are the same. There was some resistance when trying to tighten it, so I didn't...

Not following you let?

I already purchased the urinal, $15 bucks, brand new, in the box.

But still, I don't see the advantage of what you describe?

I'm interested.

Wow! That's the exact valve that I was talking about/they used in my grammar school, spring loaded type! I didn't even know they existed anymore!

Will a Home Depot type store have that or is...

Now you're talking Tom, thanks! That sounds like a plan! A "midland bushing" is something like this, right?

Wall hung tank? No, I'm talking about...

Roger that on the "P" trap -- I should have mentioned that was something I did realize.

Still don't understand by the AAV is necessary? (and I realize I don't understand much about plumbing...

You're right, this is not a permanent fixture. If I sell the house, it comes down. It will (obviously) not be to code as I'm pretty sure (for starters) a urinal in a residential home isn't even...

Want to discharge a urinal for my basement mancave through the opening of cleanout plug of 4 1/2" cast iron vertical soil pipe / stack line / vent.

Size of plug is 4 1/2".

Is there an common...
